A model for school environment and leadership. The school-level factors that evidence suggests are our current best bets for school leaders to attend to in order to promote students’ learning.

Wow! What a day and what a send off. It’s been a genuine pleasure seeing a whole community thank and celebrate someone so special. Portlands next chapter starts now but she’s made an impression that’ll last a lifetime 💚
We’re bidding a fond farewell to a very special lady and an inspirational leader today. Our very own Mrs Green is heading off to be the new Primary Director of @satrust_ We will never stop ASPIRE-ing! 💚

We’ve really enjoyed planning lessons for The Final Year. We think as many children as possible should be able to get their hands on it. So, we’re giving away a class set! Simply like this post, repost it and follow Literacy Shed on X. We’ll draw a winner at random on 13/2/24

The best day! Giving our children a day they will never forget makes this job the best one in the world 🌍 🚀
ASPIRE WEEK - Day 3 Steve from Starchaser joined us today. He delivered an assembly to children, ran workshops and launched mini rockets before putting on a spectacle for the whole school and our parents at the end of the day. What an incredible day! #ASPIRE @satrust_ 🚀⭐️💚

Any fun Christmas ideas to do with staff? We did a “guess whose Christmas tree this is” quiz last year but that’s a bit redundant after one go. What do other people do? #christmas #primary

Fabulous! Thank you Miss Tomkiss 💚
Portland’s Maths Masterclass for parents class of 2023! A terms worth of hard work has paid off as these parents have learnt how to support their child at home with Maths whilst boosting their own subject knowledge! Our parents ASPIRE too! #ASPIRE #PortlandMaths @satrust_

The awe and wonder of being in nursery 🤍
Nursery 🌺This Morning in our connected curriculum the children have been building upon their learning of seasons and changes. We have been busy exploring the world around us as we make connections in our learning and articulate our understanding of changes around us🌸
